Daniele De Rossi admits Niccolò Pisilli’ surprised’ him in the first training sessions as Roma coach.
Pisilli, 19, has already made three senior appearances with the Giallorossi, scoring one goal in a 3-0 win over Sheriff this past December.
New Roma coach De Rossi has admitted the Italian midfielder has surprised him during training sessions at Trigoria.
“I noticed some issues by watching games. Roma didn’t play badly. They played badly in some matches, but they were good in others. Roma have had highs and lows,” said DDR.
“I have some ideas, but I can’t say them here, it would be disrespectful. Players have impressed me, I knew they were strong and I was accustomed to playing with strong players. Pisilli surprised me, he is young, a kid, but he impressed me.”
